Health Care Enrollment Appears to Be Near Goal

From the New York Times, January 27, 2015

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration said Tuesday that 9.5 million people had signed up to receive health coverage through public marketplaces in 2015, with less than a month to go before the enrollment deadline.

At first glance, the report suggests that the administration has achieved its goal of having 9.1 million people enrolled at the end of this year. But in 2014, more than 15 percent of people who selected health plans in the public marketplaces failed to pay their share of premiums and were therefore not on the rolls at the end of the year. Officials said they thought that similar attrition could occur this year.

Sylvia Mathews Burwell, the secretary of health and human services, said that more than 7.1 million people had selected or been automatically re-enrolled in plans through the federal exchange, HealthCare.gov, and that 2.4 million were signed up in states running their own exchanges.
